In Brazil's MC community around 2018 this used to be so common, like youtubers selling "regedits" for "low latency" and "pvp smoothness", it's so funny seeing it again
From what I've seen, there's also a big community in Brazil solely focused on showing off the many different minecraft pvp modpacks (sorta Lunar Client, BLC ripoffs). These all seemed to stem from a video series "How to code a Minecraft PVP Client" from a youtuber named Eric Golde

yeah, this regedit thing is pretty famous in this "free fire" game community, here in brazil this fortnite mobile knockoff used to be pretty famous and i remember seeing people saying they were using "regedits" to become better at the game, i remember one day this kid came to my house with his phone asking me to remove a virus, apparently it was slow and it was showing ads, ads that, with words that can prevent youtube to delete this comment, showed females with absent clothes, when i asked him how he got the phone to that state he said he was trying to, in his own words, "download an op regedit", when i asked what the hell he meant by that he explained to me how these regedits were like hacks and would make him very good at the game, then i explained to him that this "op regedit" thing was completely bullshit and that regedit was something made to computers to edit some settings and that it isnt some cheat to use in games, yada yada yada, and i factory reset the phone, after that i did some research and found out more about this thing, and also how bad this games community is, its bizarre how misinformation is common in this community, its full of people making videos sharing viruses disguised as something that will do miracles like making the game run faster or make you better at the game, and its disgusting how they are doing this in a community thats full of very young, and consequently, stupid children

"Has regedit become a full euphemism for cheats among the young generation?" Im just imagining a 12 y/o online screaming: "HE HAS REGEDIT!" while referring to cheating. 😂
gaming optimalization is such a rabbit hole, in between normal legit ones there are people selling services where they install all these useless tweaks and probably malware for you on anydesk
I have used it throughout 2020, very good vpn, the only problem that always bothered me is that it takes a long time to connect, from 20 to 40 seconds.
Changing the MTU will definetly improve network stability, but calculating the MTU size is a pain since you need to estimate what is going on when sending packets. Also a lot of trial and error is involved. Though, usually the default MTU is enough, I had to change it thanks to having a scuffed routing: IPv6 -> DSLite -> IPv4 -> VPN -> IPv4 -> Gateway -> IPv6 -> Remote Server With roughly 30 hops or more inbetween
Man I remember back in 2012-2013 about badlion (big pvp server in minecraft back then) posting about TCPNoDelay and TCPAckFrequency as a way to help stabilize my connection and my packets send faster to the server. I was so excited because pvping back in the days, I felt like my connection always fucked me over and lost me fights I should have won. After applying regedit, there were times where it felt smooth while other times where it felt like shit. In conclusion, I didn't feel a significant change to my internet and I never touched it again. But wow, this video made me look back at my PvP days the amount of snake oil there was in the community is absurd.
You might have at least benefited from forcing TCP_NODELAY, because Minecraft only has done so on its own since version 1.8.1. The former setting absolutely does not help with a bad internet connection (in particular unstable upstream) because it doubles the amount of ACK packages for received data in the worst case.
as someone who is studying computer networking, these edits do absolutely nothing good. a lot of the changes either enable something that is already enabled by default (synattackprotect, sackopts), decrease your networking performance (mtu, mss, ttl), or just downright do nothing (systemresponsiveness, networkthrottlingindex) and change things that have nothing to do with the types of connections you'd be making while playing a game (maxuserport, disablestrictnamechecking, and the maxconnectionsperserver values that he mentions in the video that are meant for SMB). obviously, do not use these without backing up your registry first, and definitely do not expect these to not secretly turn off certain protections while pretending to be an "upgrade."
This reminds me of when people would download counter strike configs for "aim boosting" that change the most random settings and put spammy binds on every key
so people make these videos with these regedits becouse its basically free views kids think that these will make them better at the game but they do basically nothing in reality so the people uploading these videos just do it for views not to actually make peoples gaming experience better
registry system seems so borked on windows , so bizarre they be tricks to make windows functional for certain games but not surprised that people fall for these scams
I need to quick note something very important this video missed, TCPNoDelay can be controlled by software and Minecraft does enable TCPNoDelay at runtime. This is why using the regedit literally does nothing for Minecraft, it enables something Minecraft enables anyway.
A red flag with this is that Minecraft doesn't use a registry, and with Java, which is what Minecraft is coded in, has a registry, but I only found that it only says what version is installed and where Java is installed.
I mean, even if it's written in Java, it's going to have to talk to the OS at *some point*, so affecting the system wide network settings will have an impact o Minecraft
@@RafiRo1 …minecraft doesn’t directly send packets to your network card. minecraft uses windows to establish network connections and therefore some of the changes made within windows will affect how minecraft connects to the network. if you change your windows routing table to nullroute hypixels it ranges minecraft won’t be able to connect because it uses windows networking settings

You should get in touch with the old people from the Minecraft Hackforums scene from 2011-2015. Those were the days, I could even point you to many key figures and client creators back in the day (some of whom are still active and looking for exploits)
This is relatively old news. These Regedit files, scams, and “tweaks” have been going around since 2017. It does relatively nothing; entirely placebo, which is why it works. People run a random, untrusted registry tweak, or a random “performance boost” EXE file, and experience nothing but placebo. Don’t run or buy untrusted files.
TcpNoDelay = 0 is when your OS will stall packets that aren't big enough to be transferred efficiently. (Because Tcp will add additional packet headers and checksums). By stalling these packets and waiting either until a time limit occurs (some value in ms this is calculated by the algorithm based on the header size and packet size) AND/OR until the stalled buffer has a buffer with enough data in it to be packed into 1 packet with a size where the additional 1 header is negligible.
In short: The main time you’d consider disabling Nagle's algorithm would be when you care a lot about latency, and much less about throughput. It will almost always hurt throughput, often quite drastically. And that leads to the big problem: if you send too many packets with the Nagle algorithm disabled (TCP_NODELAY set), you can end up not only hurting throughput, but also hurting latency. Also, monetization of custom regedits is just plain stupid and often a pretence to get malicious code on your system.
The fastest way to find incomprehensible amounts of malware, scams and other crimes is to look up videogame cheats. Especially those targeted towards younger kids.
10:38 most importantly, the thing that is in the text is not even the scam. The main part of such "shorteners" is the sudden redirects to another sites, not connected to the chain of the link shorteners. You click anywhere, you get redirected.
fun fact: I have actually seen one of those sites that require you to click on a ad to continue, just press the X on the ad and wait until the continue button appears
little info about the ads it to generate click/duration monetization if you used enough to seven seas of illegal downloads some may figure it out or get dragged to the kraken of ransomware (which come first) but basically you just have to click 2-3 ads > close new / pop up tab > back to the waiting, and after that either the link is going to pop up or the button light up the usual phase i get is [name_file] download > ads wait 10 second > click download > close few pop up > new page ads wait 3 second > click download > close few pop up > then the file host page show up
I play in Spanish speaking pvp community, and I watched so many players get scammed who genuinely believe they get an advantage from regedits. It's all placebo!
MTU has an extremely noticeable effect in some games, mostly MMORPGs. Lowering MTU reduces the maximum size of a packet before it gets sent, meaning you theoretically send packets more frequently. Older games like Mabinogi and Black Desert seem to get the most positive benefit from this, but I have no idea if it helps minecraft at all.
What's next "Powershells" for Visual Novels no wait that makes more sense because having it does make some of them easier to play by using the "Set-WinSystemLocale" command instead of having to go into Control Panel
hey eric, could you please consider doing a video on how cars have spyware? ive always heard they "spy" but no hard evidence yet. would be cool to see you go through that
There is plenty of evidence. As in its already known for a fact that they sell the info to LexisNexis. And its used to raise your insurance rates over things that aren't even dangerous.
your videos are very interesting, i wish you would approach them in an even more beginner-friendly manner so i could share them to my friends who could expose themselves to some of the menaces you're talking about in your videos
I remember changing MTU values from 1500 to 1492 in the good ol' times of the internet, when Wi-Fi was something fancy and new. Although I remember having the MTU value set to 1480 or even 1460, with respective MRU value changed accordingly. I'm unsure now if it had something with PPPoE on ATM or anything else.
1: People have been selling them for a long time 2: Regedit isn't a hack, videos just say that as an exaggeration so people will click 3: Tenebrous is a child liker and has been proven wrong many times 4: I have tried and tested many .reg files and they do have a noticable effect on gameplay, which can vary depending on which regedit file you run 5: They aren't cheating servers, they're cheating clients, and yes some are malware (token loggers, rats, etc.) You are 100% more knowledgable about computers than I am, but I can say based on many past experiences that it isn't a placebo effect and that regedit does work for minecraft. Edit: That said, always make a restore point before you even think of touching your computer's registry because you can mess it up really bad.
i love how you always spiral into other topics and start investigating them, instead of just ignoring them. this makes your youtube channel extremely fun to watch. i wish you much sucess.
reminds me of sellers for counter strike configs. same talk about "improved performance, no lag, no recoil". its just placebo obviously, but sketchy enough that some child could try and download sketchy things while looking for these things

8:27 yesterday i actually got the same thing (on a vm) when shortening a link with a link shortener that pays you (i got ~$0.01 for visiting that link myself) that person did the same and that's why you were spammed with ads. first link shortener, 6 steps + 2 'bonus' required steps and it redirected. another one, same thing, another one, there were too many steps (it wasn't said anywhere how much there were) and i just gave up, there is a chance it would redirect you where you're supposed to go but i'm not sure.
Did I understand right that you are running this in a VM? Wouldn't you need to do the same thing on the host or the connection is not tunneled that way?
this is very informitive but i want to side track and say HOW ARE YOU GETTING 800+ INTERNET SPEED i bearly get 3 with premium centrylink and thats why im unsubbing to it
The longer you have a specific package the more they throttle it, drop down to base package for a month and when you "upgrade" back to your normal speed it should be faster, they do that to pressure people into paying for a more expensive package then you actually need
I used centurylink for yeaaaars, we needed to call them twice per year to make them stop throttling our internet. Try calling in and seeing what happens
these minecraft scams haven't changed a bit since 2011 lmao, 12 y/o me were doing multiple surveys and going through tons of ads in a never-ending loop, I probably made them a couple of bux.
How am i just now learning about this "Nagle's Algorithm". Seems like something I'd find as a kid, especially since one of those videos is 6 years old now. Sorta neat tho.
bro no way people are still selling minecraft regedit modifications, i thought people realized like 8 years ago they all did nothing (unless tcpnodelay could do something if theyre playing in 1.7 or before, but anyone playing 1.7 nowadays uses a modified game client which has tcpnodelay anyways)
Changing the packet size also does nothing and can actually make your network slower since your computer is having to do unpacking or buffering depending on what you set it to. Pretty much all network gear a home user is going to touch is going to be set to 1500 MTU including the internet connection. Some network gear also calls this jumbo frames.
I used to disable negle algorithm for cs:go since 2016 xD. It was improving latency on faceit server with cl_interp_ratio 1 and over copper connection.
Which is kinda silly since the whole family of games inheriting from Quake have always used UDP for communication. The latter probably helped a lot more if you had high or fluctuating ping.
I think I vaguely remember something about Nagle's algorithm. Is it the one that batches packets together to reduce traffic at cost of potentially higher latency?
there are certain registry modifications that can improve performance. for example, changing Win32PrioritySeparation can instantly make a measurable impact on your framerate (compared to another/the default value). other modifications can be used to reduce the system load by disabling unnecessary background services. NEVER pay anyone for this though.

DO NOT EVER tell me that "I propably wouldn't care about IPv6"!
hey eric, could you please consider doing a video on how cars have spyware? ive always heard they "spy" but no hard evidence yet. would be cool to see you go through that
There is plenty of evidence. As in its already known for a fact that they sell the info to LexisNexis. And its used to raise your insurance rates over things that aren't even dangerous.
My dumbass thought the thumbnail said "redigit" and i was like "hold on, didnt they make terraria??"😂
your videos are very interesting, i wish you would approach them in an even more beginner-friendly manner so i could share them to my friends who could expose themselves to some of the menaces you're talking about in your videos
Ah yes, Registry Editor for Minecraft
I remember changing MTU values from 1500 to 1492 in the good ol' times of the internet, when Wi-Fi was something fancy and new. Although I remember having the MTU value set to 1480 or even 1460, with respective MRU value changed accordingly. I'm unsure now if it had something with PPPoE on ATM or anything else.
the idea in the end of the video sounds very fun hope it will be released
1: People have been selling them for a long time
2: Regedit isn't a hack, videos just say that as an exaggeration so people will click
3: Tenebrous is a child liker and has been proven wrong many times
4: I have tried and tested many .reg files and they do have a noticable effect on gameplay, which can vary depending on which regedit file you run
5: They aren't cheating servers, they're cheating clients, and yes some are malware (token loggers, rats, etc.)
You are 100% more knowledgable about computers than I am, but I can say based on many past experiences that it isn't a placebo effect and that regedit does work for minecraft.
Edit: That said, always make a restore point before you even think of touching your computer's registry because you can mess it up really bad.
LOL
i love how you always spiral into other topics and start investigating them, instead of just ignoring them. this makes your youtube channel extremely fun to watch. i wish you much sucess.
I really want to see you reverse some of these things, that would be so funny
reminds me of sellers for counter strike configs. same talk about "improved performance, no lag, no recoil". its just placebo obviously, but sketchy enough that some child could try and download sketchy things while looking for these things
OO very interesting, lets see if you go to servers with actual hackers, or some joke-ish skriddies servers . :D loving your channel by the way all the content is valuable, as well very entertaining [for some of us at least] [edited for typos]
Hello Eric PointCrow- I mean Parker!
I remember seeing this one being discussed in the Discord server yesterday.
What a throwback
man i used to play mc pvp and this feels so old school lol
hit me with nostalgia with this one
I can't believe I got tricked again by another Minecraft mod
8:27 yesterday i actually got the same thing (on a vm) when shortening a link with a link shortener that pays you (i got ~$0.01 for visiting that link myself)
that person did the same and that's why you were spammed with ads. first link shortener, 6 steps + 2 'bonus' required steps and it redirected. another one, same thing, another one, there were too many steps (it wasn't said anywhere how much there were) and i just gave up, there is a chance it would redirect you where you're supposed to go but i'm not sure.
Isn't link shortersdodgyasfuck
Couldn't have been as there was never any data passed in the get request.
crazy that people are still doing this thing in this current year
Did I understand right that you are running this in a VM? Wouldn't you need to do the same thing on the host or the connection is not tunneled that way?
this is very informitive but i want to side track and say HOW ARE YOU GETTING 800+ INTERNET SPEED i bearly get 3 with premium centrylink and thats why im unsubbing to it
bro take it from me. CenturyLink is the worst. Period. End of discussion.
The longer you have a specific package the more they throttle it, drop down to base package for a month and when you "upgrade" back to your normal speed it should be faster, they do that to pressure people into paying for a more expensive package then you actually need
That’s because you have an awful ISP.
I used centurylink for yeaaaars, we needed to call them twice per year to make them stop throttling our internet. Try calling in and seeing what happens
these minecraft scams haven't changed a bit since 2011 lmao, 12 y/o me were doing multiple surveys and going through tons of ads in a never-ending loop, I probably made them a couple of bux.
In 11 days, I finally get fiber, 2 gigabit. Been waiting almost a year since they announced it in my area.
i got 8 gigabit since a long time
How am i just now learning about this "Nagle's Algorithm". Seems like something I'd find as a kid, especially since one of those videos is 6 years old now. Sorta neat tho.
What a throwback to 2016, minecraft and regedits
Best season ever
bro no way people are still selling minecraft regedit modifications, i thought people realized like 8 years ago they all did nothing (unless tcpnodelay could do something if theyre playing in 1.7 or before, but anyone playing 1.7 nowadays uses a modified game client which has tcpnodelay anyways)
offtopic but DAMN you have fast internet
I just like his straight to the point intro's
Changing the packet size also does nothing and can actually make your network slower since your computer is having to do unpacking or buffering depending on what you set it to. Pretty much all network gear a home user is going to touch is going to be set to 1500 MTU including the internet connection. Some network gear also calls this jumbo frames.
I used to disable negle algorithm for cs:go since 2016 xD. It was improving latency on faceit server with cl_interp_ratio 1 and over copper connection.
Which is kinda silly since the whole family of games inheriting from Quake have always used UDP for communication. The latter probably helped a lot more if you had high or fluctuating ping.
13:56 hes starting his villian ark for the good of the people
I think I vaguely remember something about Nagle's algorithm. Is it the one that batches packets together to reduce traffic at cost of potentially higher latency?
Games use UDP, if it is using TCP dev's fucked up, if you need to change socket options dev's fucked up
damn i almost forgot about child groomer tenebrous
i used to do this stuff in minecraft 2018 for extra reach😭😭🙏
0:35 - I was expecting you to say: The drug and a concept in physics
Came for the malware, stayed for ad fraud - but left without Minecraft aimbot :C
there are certain registry modifications that can improve performance. for example, changing Win32PrioritySeparation can instantly make a measurable impact on your framerate (compared to another/the default value). other modifications can be used to reduce the system load by disabling unnecessary background services. NEVER pay anyone for this though.
What does Win32PrioritySeperation do?
@@rockpie.iso.tar.bz2according to the microsoft learn article “Win32_OperatingSystem class”, it changes how the kernel schedules how much execution time processes should be given, how much extra time foreground processes should be given, and the duration of the length of quantums. “A quantum is a unit of execution time that the scheduler is allowed to give to an application before switching to other applications”
@@rockpie.iso.tar.bz2 it changes how the kernel schedules execution execution time spent on different processes. the key controls how long the units of execution time are, whether or not their lengths are variable, and how much foreground processes are prioritized over background processes. it’s written about in a microsoft learn article titled “Win32_OperatingSystem class”
A lot of these sub to unlock stuff works by you click the button and after 3 seconds it unlocks
100% the "faster keyboard" is literally just pushing the polling rates up, which does nothing unless your keyboard can actually poll that.
People pay money for the dumbest shit.
TENEBROUS MENTIONED (HE CANT KEEP HIS HANDS OFF KIDS)
Internet is getting dumber by the bytes
Regedit only works if you intimately know the code
